Each year anglers compete on and off the water for the honor to be named the Angler of the Year. Points are awarded for educational learning submissions, community events, tournament competition and volunteer projects. Tournament competition points are designed to create an extremely close competition, thus the Angler of the Year is always an angler that goes above and beyond competition to support their own personal growth and learning, supporting their community and natural resources and volunteering locally and within the organization.
In our third season, the IYFL is proud to recognize our first ever Angler of the Year coming from our junior division!
Thank you to our sponsors in helping put together prize packages for all of our awards this year including this amazing AoY collection of rods, reels, baits, tackle and gift cards!
Nearly $5000 worth of prizes were awarded for all of our award recipients and volunteer boaters!
